Bachelor of Science in media communication

“All your dreams can come true if you have the courage to pursue them.”

Walt Disney

In the rapidly evolving world of news and entertainment, the creative and technical bars are constantly being raised. To succeed in this ever-changing and fast-paced environment, you need both a solid grounding in the fundamentals of the communication field and a wealth of hands-on experience that will enable you to apply your academic lessons in real-world situations. This is what distinguishes Lawrence Technological University’s Bachelor of Science in Media Communication from other programs.

Traditional media programs tend to focus on a single area – journalism, broadcasting, production, or public relations – but the greatest demand in the communication field today is for cross-trained individuals who can move with confidence and agility between all areas. Media professionals must have the ability to take a project from the planning stage, through data gathering and analysis, to production and broadcast. Lawrence Tech’s Media Communication program has been specifically designed to address these requirements.

Opportunity knocks even at the freshmen level – numerous internships are available to students through affiliations with local radio and television networks, news organizations, the movie industry, and area advertising and public relations firms as well as a Media Communication advisory board whose members have connections to the industry.

Location, location, location – most of the broadcast media and video production businesses serving the Detroit metropolitan area are located within a five-to-seven-mile radius of campus.
